ODU outshot the Pride, 7-6 and the Monarchs had two shots on goal on the night. In the second half senior midfielder and pre-season CAA co -Player of the Year Trevor Banks (Madison, WI. ) got on the back end of a cross from about 10 yards out and hit a shot that Hofstra Keeper Greg Cumpstone dove to block. The other shot on goal was by Roberto Squeglia (Schenectady, NY.) .

With about 21 minutes left in the match, junior midfielder Nane Joseph ( Yaounde, Cameroon) got a cross at about the top of the six and had a leaping header that just missed to the left of the post.

The Monarchs return home to host James Madison Wednesday night at 7 p.m. in the ODU Soccer
